We were heading on the right track in the mid 80's, 1987 to be precise as that was the Ozone Layer Montreal Protocol. Politicians got the news, and acted. They didn't flinch. There wasn't a PR system in place that Science couldn't stop.

Since then corporations and their right wing zealots have mounted a counter offensive against Science. Started owning politicians who follow the money and focus groups, not science. Hiring the same PR companies that delayed the smoking bans. They are now the PR companies fighting climate change.

There's no abiding issue or reason when nobody wants any kind of change
